I have never ever been a coffee drinker. It gives me anxiety and i get jittery. I was wondering if there was a nice happy low key version to drinking coffee while putting it into another drink of some sort? Kind of like hiding it in a chocolate milk/hot chocolate packet or lattee maybe?
I used to drink it with hot chocolate and really enjoyed that! I now drink it with caramel vanilla flavoured creamer. It's pretty tasty! There are some great-tasting flavoured creamers out now. Maybe try one of those?
I think a latte would be ok as long as it's skim milk.
They sell a kind of coffee that is mixed half and half with decaf. You get used to it over time.
For all we know, decaf may even sway pink. We do not KNOW that it's the caffeine in coffee, it may be some component of the coffee itself.
I would be careful with having it in the morning, as a combo with chocolate or a large amount of milk. If you ahve a big glass of milk/sugar with the coffee, that really IS a meal and counts as breakfast. It's ok if you choose to do that (I actually did and this was a cheat that I allowed myself to do, was having a small amount of real sugar in my morning coffee and then nothing till lunch) but I just want you to be informed that it does count as having breakfast and it's not technically skipping it, especially if it's like a latte with 1-2 cups of milk and cocoa powder in it.
Having it with a meal may be a better option but if it makes you jittery I'd not have it past lunch for sure!!
Will my sway be okay still if I don't drink coffee, alcohol, much aspartame or take any supplements? All I really think I want to do now is the diet (vegetarian - veggies with grains with a sprinkle of dairy and 1-2 fruits a day) and Cardio everyday. And One attempt 2.5 days before I Ovulate. I am very fertile, as is DH. I was only concerned about the level of testosterone and thought I needed to take something for that.
Unfortunately my crystal ball is in the shop this week and I can't tell anyone if their sway is going to work or not. ;)
None of the supplements have been earning their keep I don't think. Diet, cardio, one attempt are all solid sway tactics. Coffee and alcohol have seemed to help but they are cerainly not mandated by law LOL.
I am just so astonished at how easy this all seems i feel like i must be missing something. I thought it was going to be significantly more difficult. I am so excited and I laugh with DH about how I'm on a pasta and cheese diet since those are my two weaknesses OH and walking is all I will do for physical activity anyways haha. I LOVE eating vegetarian and this is a beautiful excuse to make veggie meals for the family now! DH can't handle the acidity in tomatoes so I will avoid those anyways.... today in fact i experimented and made a pasta sauce but with roasted peppers. Then I thought.... I will probably be eating a lot of the same foods (zucchini, peppers, arugula, green onion, eggplant) and am wondering if that is okay or should I focus more on variety?
It IS easy! Think about all those people out there who pop out a girl and a boy without even thinking about it at all. They aren't doing anything crazy or extreme at all and the changes they have made in their lifestyle are probably so minor that they never even thought about it.
I often think we who make a lot of one gender in a row suffer from a combination of outwitting ourselves (like thinking "I need to get super healthy for pregnancy") and also just bad luck. I have definitely had times in my life where I was eating light and/or vegetarian, doing a lot of exercise, etc but I just never happened to get pregnant during those times. I got pregnant right after I had gained a small amount or holding steady, planning a pregnancy every time except the first one (and I lived on roast beef sandwiches and milkshakes then because I worked at a restaurant).
If I had, just from random chance, gotten my 3rd boy during that time when I was thin/vegetarian/exercise addict I'd prob. have gotten a girl and none of us would even be here now, you know??
So my point is, it doensn't HAVE to be this grueling, horrible thing!! No one else is getting their girls that way and most women do have a girl over hte course of their lives without doing anything that they even realize they're doing.
